THE SON OF VALERIA

CHAPTER 3

The first night in the base was hell I couldn't sleep so in the morning I was like a zombie. Waking time is 4 am for a morning run around the base something that was at least refreshing after a long night fighting with sleep. Breakfast was at least as compared to yesterday's supper ,I still sit at the corner of slaves and am joined by Evan and Emmah something that makes my day especially the sight of Emmah radiating with beauty as always.

Breakfast ends quickly as we officially begin training with some theoretical classes on the terrortones about their biology and history something that I find boring since I was never a fun of biology class back when I was in high school.The lesson looked infinity as it took almost a millennial but it finally ends at 1pm and we are of to the armory section where we find Mr Konna our patron who introduces us to Micheal a short steady,bald guy with a long beard as our knew weaponry instructor.

The guy is a weapon demon we are left flummoxed when he begins introducing the different weaponry ,"Meet the M44 riffle this baby can shoot three bullets a second with a with a 130Nms bullet force ,this is the AK48 many of you only know of his 47 bro this guy has double the damage and shooting range,then here is the missile a baby with a damage range of 400m then lastly today I'll show you a Russian revolution sub machine gun with a semi-explosive launcher." Micheal said before looking at as the time had passed so quickly it . I still feel the urge to hear more about the different weapons he had on display but the lesson was over before I had a chance to ask a question." The remaining two hours before supper is time for self grooming and relaxing so dispatch!" Mr Konna who had entered like a ghost shouted before disappearing through the door again.

I went on the rocky area close to the on the other side far behind the dorms to hang out and have some me time. As I sat their remenesing about how life would have been if the terrortones had never fallen to earth. Just I'm sitting on the rocks two helicopters fly into the island carrying what was left of the spaceship that had carried terror,they fly to a secure area out of bounds to us on the far left side from where I sit . My curiosity starts to stir up within me like an active volcano and soon I find myself at the edge of the fence that separates our section from the classified area but am soon seen by a guard who sends me scampering off like a deer being chased by a tiger .

I run back to the dinning hall since am late and end up catching everyones attention as I scrambled with myself to serve and take a seat at the corner of slaves where Emmah and Evan are awaiting with queries written in their faces I tried my best to ignore there eyes since I wasn't planning to share my discovery yet . Our group was quiet that day since am usually the one to start conversations which Emmah rarely response to. At night i was less sleep and like yesterday i fought with sleep, "Nova !Nova !" , begin to hear this voices at first I think they are coming from my bedmate on top but then I realize they are ringing from my mind ,"Am I running amock ", I try to reason with myself," maybe its the air let me go outside and take some cool fresh air ." I move out of my bed like a fox and creep outside avoiding knocking off the troughs on the entrances of each room in the dorm .I'm standing outside when again I hear the voice this time louder then I start feeling a pull towards the restricted area it seems like I'm no longer in control of my own body ,it takes me about fifteen minutes to move across the loan in the base to the fence that divides the two sections ,I look at my body move and jump the fence like a person watching a marathon on a tv . I get control of my body finally but I find myself standing in front of the space ship my hand immediately moved like it had its own mind and touched the ship and immediately a voice seemingly of the ship's control said ,"DNA confirmed, welcome Nova ." Then a section of the ship opens revealing the entrance.

Chills of cold air moved down my spine as my adrenaline rose to the Baj khalifa's heights.For a minute my body feels frozen at the spot and I'm unable to feel my feet then when fear loosens it's grip on me I don't wait for it to grab me ones more I explode like lightening jumping over the fence like it was a sheep fence . I ran and only stopped when I saw my bed in front of me then I fell onto it like a man who's head has been severed from the body and sleep took me like a gast of wind and in no time at all I was deep asleep.
